"To be offended by the visual appearance of another person is
prejudice, akin to racism. The right to exist, uncovered, should hold
precedence over the right not to view this, for the objection is
irrational."- Terri Webb
Clothing Optional
vs. Nudist
Some resorts are "clothing optional"
and some aren't. At a clothing optional resort, you're free to remain
dressed with no pressure to disrobe. Ask about their policy, as "CO"
is not a bad choice if the spouse isn't so sure about undressing. One
almost universal exception is that you will probably be required to be
nude in their pools and hot tubs. The rather weak argument is that it
keeps fibers from clogging the filters. The real reason is that
"skinny-dipping" is almost a sacred right to nudists, and that's why
you're there, isn't it? Even if the club is "CO", take the plunge and
disrobe. You'll probably feel more out of place if you stay clothed,
since the majority will likely be nude.
Most clubs are not "clothing
optional" and expect visitors and members to be nude, weather
permitting. It's also easier to get used to nudity when everybody's
nude. First timer's are usually given some latitude, but the sooner
you disrobe, the sooner you'll feel less out of place. After the call,
the drive, and the guy at the gate, taking off your clothes is the
easy part. As in the beach discussion above, my advice is to "just do
it". It feels pretty strange the first time, stripping beside your car
in a parking lot. The feeling of vulnerability fades over the next few
hours. Just ignore it and it will pass. Don't forget to bring a towel
to sit on (universal practice). And don't be so nervous that you lock
your keys in the car!
There is usually plenty to do, if
you're so inclined. The stereotypical nude volleyball game is actually
a favorite pastime at most clubs. It is a wonderful distraction and a
great way to get used to being nude. Join in if offered. Tennis
anyone? Most clubs have pools, saunas, and/or hot tubs which
facilitate social interaction, and nature trails or quiet sunning
areas for those times you just want to be left alone.
Short Reading About Nudist Culture
The most common problem women have toward a nudist environment is the fact that most think that only perfect 10's will be there and they will be embarrassed by other women. This is simply not the case. Only one in twenty (or less) has an exceptional physical appearance and naturists view all people as beautiful. Just as everyday people, some may have physically attractive bodies and may be proud of them, but most have average physiques and no overwhelming desire to flaunt themselves. When visiting a nudist environment, it soon becomes apparent that human beings are not rated on a scale on one to ten, based on body type, but rather on individual merit. They feel that personalities shine while exterior features have very little meaning.
A pamphlet which has helped many women better understand and adjust to nude life titled, A Woman's Perspective is available from the ASA, Incorporated, 1703 North Main Street, Kissimmee, Florida 34744-9988 USA; 407-933-2064. It details the average female nudist's attitudes about the practice and benefits of nude recreation for women, men and children. Yes, children. Experiences with children at nudist sites seems to suggest that the lifestyle also helps children to better cope with the pressures of growing up. Child naturists seem to be quite relaxed and have no problem with shedding garments. Also, incidents of abusive acts are much more rare than in "clothed" society. Children at these facilities are clean, considerate, and very well mannered.

The Naturist materials on this nudist Website are legal in every city, every state and every county inside the United States. They are protected by the First Amendment and are not subject to local obscenity laws or ordinances. The depiction of adults and children nude in the visual media has enjoyed constitutional protection in the United States since 1958, when the Supreme Court vacated a Court of Appeals finding that Sunshine & Health magazine could be obscene (Sunshine Book Co. v. Summerfield, Postmaster General, 355 U.S. 372). The right to depict adults and children in innocent nude poses has been upheld without a pause for 41 years. In case after case, the Supreme Court and lower courts have always upheld the constitutionality of "nudity without more," specifically referring to the nudist depiction as a fully constitutional form of expression. Our picture and video galleries are widely promoted in all of United States, Canada, Asia, Europe, South America, Canada, Australia and Africa amond most major countries. The only exception may be countries where nudity of any kind is banned, i.e. Iraq, Syria, and Iran. |
